23、 Vanuatu is an island nation in the South Pacific. It is one of the smallest countries in the world. But for those who are interested in adventure and sport, there is a lot to do. Vanuatu’s islands offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world: volcano(火山) surfing and land diving.
Volcano Surfing
On Tanna Island, Mount Yasur rises 300 meters into the sky. Yasur is an active volcano, and it erupts(爆发) almost every day, sometimes several times a day. For centuries, people have climbed this mountain to visit the top. Recently, people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano. In some ways, volcano surfing is like surfing in the sea, but in other ways it’s very different. Volcano surfers try to escape the erupting volcano- without getting hit by flying rocks! It’s fast, fun and dangerous- the perfect extreme sport.
Land Diving
Most people are familiar with bungee jumping, but do you know bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu and is almost fifteen centuries old? The activity, first called land diving, is part of a religious ceremony. A man ties tree vines (藤) to his legs. He then jumps headfirst from a high tower to touch the earth with the top of his head- without breaking the vine. Every spring, island natives ( men only) still take part in this amazing activity.

24、 Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, "Happiness depends on ourselves." In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend too much time thinking about the future—for example, getting into college or getting a good job—that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasure, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people do dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.
Finally, people may find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
【1】The second paragraph tells us that ________.
A.the more friends you have, the happier you are B.we shouldn't think about our future
C.happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life D.some people fail to live a happy life
【2】The writer thinks that ________.
A.everyone knows how to live a happier life B.it's wrong to spend time on work
C.hobbies take up too much time D.doing good things for someone can make you happier
【3】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A.Reading a good book. B.Traveling to a foreign country.
C.Listening to favorite music. D.Spending time with close friends.
【4】The best title(标题) of this passage is ________.
A.The Secrets of Happiness B.Money Makes You Happy
C.Good Friends Make You Happy D.Ideas for Helping Other People to Be Happy
25、
Ears are part of your body. Have you noticed the size and shape of your 【1】 before? The size and shape of your ears show your character(性格) more than other parts of the face. Other parts of the face change shape as we get 【2】, but ears do not change their shape with the age. They only change in size. Judging(判断) people’s character【3】 their ears is a very old science. In the 【4】 , people thought that a person【5】 big ears had a good character. They thought that the person was dangerous if he had small ears in nearly white color.
